There's quite a few things that I'd question.

Your array contains pointers to functions that return a pointer to
progmem'ed data. Yet, neither 'function0' nor 'function1' return a value.

I'm also assuming that you're using the compiler option that makes "int"s 8
bits wide, because the two functions are being used in the context of an
int, but they manipulate chars.

Finally, your functions return pointers to progmem variables, yet you don't
define any variables in the progmem space.

If your question is only to find out how the array needs to be defined,
then this is how I'd try it [I chopped out the portions that don't apply to
the question]:

    #define pchar char __attribute__ ((progmem))

    typedef pchar* (*PF)(void);

    pchar* function0(void);
    pchar* function1(void);

    PF FunctionTable[2] = { function0, function1 };

By defining a new type, PF, it makes the array definition simpler.

Hope this helps....
